It has been a hectic 3 weeks since I last posted! This is going to be a pretty huge update. I have collected a lot of data, driven a lot of miles and done quite a bit of work with the Insight. Mostly general maintenance has been done, but I have snuck a few ecomods in.

I'm gonna try to get this done before I go to work. Let's do this!!!

First off, I have to share some of my more noteable trip mileage figures. This car never ceases to amaze me at what fuel economy it can get, whether in town or on the highway.

This is my best trip yet. It was low traffic conditions right after nightfall. I started in Mountain Grove after delivering a friend some items. I got lost 3 miles into the trip back! I luckily got back on the right route quickly. Then it was 55 mph cruising back to West Plains with driving by the MPG gauge on small hills (bled off speed going up) and drafting semis to maintain speed up longer inclines.



My trip up to MG was 75.4 mpg!

Daytime trip to Springfield averaging around 60 mph



Coming back from Springfield



Another trip to and from Springfield
